I think this question sort of boils down to are you a half cup full or half cup empty sort of person...
So are you more willing to prop a post you like or diss a post that evokes some kind of negative emotional response in you? It sort of seems this forum has more props than disses at about a 1.65 to 1 ratio, but I don't really feel that is painting an accurate picture of how the majority of this board acts. Most of the propping I've noticed is mostly confined to the Concert Hall or file sharing threads while I hardly see anything but disses in the rest of the forum. I never really understood the purpose of propping or dissing a post myself, and sort of think it can't really do anything but bring discontent on one side or unnecessarily inflate ones ego on the other. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I would diss your post if I could.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |

lol... I figured that was what would happen. I'm still interested in what people think of props and disses though.
![]() Random thought : It would be neat if you could attach a little message to a prop or a diss that only the receiver could see. ...or maybe that everyone could see. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
IT'S A TRAP!
To add to the complete lack of discussion, I prop when I find something funny, witty, or informative. I rarely diss, cause that seems like a lazy way to not add to a discussion at all while still having your opinion given. I was speaking idiomatically. |
![]() When you hover over the prop or diss icon with your mouse you could get a pop-up menu with little comments. That way people would actually have to think a bit and come up with a reason to prop or diss a post. This would make it more useful I feel as well and prevent a lot of spam and flamming that usually takes place in (and disrupts) a thread. It would be fun to read some of the comments for some posts as well. ![]() What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
For instance: You know what avoids a lot of spammy flame comments of "fuck you BZ, you're an idiot"? A diss button. Some things just aren't worth the effort of a well-thought out reply. Sometimes all a comment requires in response is a quick little tap of a button that says all you need to. Most amazing jew boots ![]() John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD. |
Case in point Knighthawk's seemingly benign comment about you which somehow inspired 37 disses (and his own unique animated tile, name, and avatar). I really can't see most people taking any personal offense to his comment, and I doubt you took much either yet it was almost like a chain reaction and the disses kept accumulating. On that note, it is very rare to see a post get that many props, outside the file-sharing areas of course. (Please provide links to posts that contradict this assumption if they exist) I am sort of under the impression that people here, like society in general, are more willing to "punish" those for making mistakes than to "praise" them for doing good.
How ya doing, buddy? |
In short: You've utterly missed the point. There's nowhere I can't reach. ![]() John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD.

![]() I suppose I can see one potential use for the ![]() ![]() * I wonder how many disses I will be able to get out of this thread... This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Um, no. You face infraction if you rip someone apart without dealing with the subject at hand, but that would be why you spend more than 10 words doing it. So long as you're decently intelligent in how you say what you have to say, you're fine. If all you're capable of is "lol fag I disagree" then hey, diss button. Right there. And now we're back to the beginning. Then again, if all you're capable of is that, we really don't want you around anyway.
You don't seem to really grasp how things work around here yet. I suggest you lurk a little more, because really you're doing a great impression of Don Quixote right now. ![]() Which is too bad, because you seem capable of much more.

I go with a simple set of rules. Any post that makes me laugh gets a prop. Any post that makes me *facepalm* gets a diss. At the time of this post, I have given 238 props and 230 disses.
I seem to be giving an inordinate amount of props to Pangalin recently. Dammit Pang, stop making me laugh so much! I was speaking idiomatically. |
Instead of attaching a comment to the prop or diss, why not just post that same comment as a reply to the thread? That's sort of why this is an internet forum etc.

FELIPE NO |
Fine. Lurk more in the community, take part in conversations, before making threads about board systems. I didn't feel the need to add that last part because Otur has already taken part in other discussions. I hope this has eased your troubled mind.
